Bob Marley’s mega-selling 30-year old album Legend is on course for it’s first visit to the Top 10 on the US album charts! About time!

The album, which was released in 1984 by Island Records, has sold steadily over the years but incredibly has never visited the Top 10 before.

Legend is a compilation album by Bob Marley and the Wailers – a greatest hits collection of singles in its original vinyl format, and the best-selling reggae album of all-time, with over 13 million copies sold in the US and approximately 25 million copies sold globally. In 2003, the album was ranked Nº46 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

The album also holds the distinction of being the second longest-charting album in the history of Billboard magazine. If you combine its chart life on the Billboard 200 and the Top Pop Catalog Albums charts it has had a chart run of 992 non-consecutive weeks, beaten only by Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon at 1574 weeks.

This sudden surge in chart rankings is thanks to a 99-cent sale on the Google Play Store. The album normally sells for 8 dollars. According to the Universal Music Group which distributes the album, Google is paying the company full price and selects albums for sale promotions “all on their own”. Sale and heavily discounted albums are eligible for inclusion on the Billboard charts so long as they are not priced below $3.49 in their first 4 weeks of release. (Free or giveaway albums are never included).

The new Top 10 on the Billboard 200 will be revealed on Wednesday September 10. For more information on this story visit Billboard Magazine.

Here’s the full album – Legend. To listen to this album in Creation 5, and download it, just tap here.

Pardon Me is the new single by Shahid Khan (Naughty Boy) and was created for Lynx’s Make Beats, Not War campaign to raise awareness for the Peace One Day Organization. The British record producer and DJ has managed to merge the contrasting styles of the artists to create a UK Garage-inspired track with an infectious hook. Naughty Boy prides himself on being politically conscious and with the worthy cause and strong central message in this song it looks set to inspire the same in others.

The original version of the song included vocals of Tanika and Ava Stokes but in this re-issue Naughty Boy added Professor Green, Laura Mvula, Wilkinson and Bristol newcomer singer-songwriter Ava Lily. This new version of the track, named Lynx Peace Edition will be released as a charity single.

Naughty Boy is at the top of his game, already scoring a Nº1 hit with ‘La La La’ feat. Sam Smith and has worked with mega stars such as Ed Sheeran, Emeli Sande and Tinie Tempah. Recently he has been collaborating with One Direction on their next album.

Pardon Me comes from Naughty Boy’s acclaimed debut album Hotel Cabanna that was released on August 23, 2013 via Virgin/EMI.

The video portrays the emotional upheaval of a break up – the anger, the tears, the pain – followed by freedom and release.

Speaking of the song to BBC Radio 1’s Scott Mills, Nicole said: “This song is really personal to me. I love it. It’s a break up song.I want the girls and all the people out there who’s ever had a hard time in a relationship to put this song on repeat and feel really empowered.”

Produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, Nicole confirmed that “On the Rocks” is actually inspired by one of her past relationships, although she has not confirmed which one.

On The Rocks follows Your Love and serves as the second single from Nicole’s forthcoming new album (still untitled) and the music video premiered today, September 5. The single will officially be released on October 12 through RCA Records and in the US via Epic Records.

Sink your fangs into this new trailer for Dracula Untold starring Luke Evans and Dominic Cooper. It’s a cinematic re-envisioning of the infamous vampire’s ‘true’ origins….Could Dracula really be a dark superhero?

(To watch this video in Creation 5, just tap here.)

The film is based on the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker and portrays the origin of Count Dracula. Vampire mythology is weaved together with the true history of Prince Vlad the Impaler, which basically depicts Dracula as a flawed hero in a tragic love story. Perhaps this is the first time that fans will have been given a much clearer historical perspective of the tale.

Dracula Untold begins in the 15th century, as Vlad (Evans) finds his homeland facing the thread of invasion by the Ottoman Empire, led by Sultan Mehmed II (Dominic Cooper). Desperate to defend his people, Vlad ends up striking a bargain with an ancient evil (Charles Dance) that allows him to gain incredible powers that will help him win the war – but at a terrible cost to his own soul.

Sarah Gadon plays Mirena, the Queen and wife of Dracula the King, and she admitted to be being pretty scared herself whilst filming: “I was really scared making it. In a battle scene, with fighting going on around us, I wiped out a few times. I was running through the forest at top speed – there was mud and it was raining. I had lots of bruises.”

The action epic adventure was written by Mark Sazama and Burk Sharpless and marks the debut of director Gary Shore’s first full length feature film. From the looks of the trailer this is an excellent introduction to the legendary character.

Dracula Untold hits UK cinemas on October 3 and US cinemas on October 17.

Happy Birthday to our favourite original ‘gangster’ Charlie Sheen, he turns 49 today!

(To watch the video in Creation 5, just tap here.)

Carlos Irwin Estévez was born in New York City, the youngest son of actor Martin Sheen and artist Janet Templeton. He became famous after a whole series of successful films: Platoon (1986), Lucas (1986), Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986), Wall Street (1987), Young Guns (1988), Eight Men Out (1988), Major League (1989), Hot Shots! (1991), The Three Musketeers (1993), The Arrival (1996), Money Talks (1997), and Being John Malkovich (1999).

In the 2000s, he became best known for his wonderful television roles – Spin City, for which he received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor and Two and a Half Men which earned him several Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominations. In 2010, he was the highest paid actor on television, earning 1.8 million dollars per episode of Two and a Half Men. He’s currently starring in the FX comedy series Anger Management.

It’s Charlie’s personal life that has made as many, if not more, headlines as his acting career. There have been many reports of drug and alcohol abuse and he was fired from Two and a Half Men in 2011. But nothing stops Charlie Sheen as he then went on a nationwide tour.

What Charlie says always manages to get in the headlines – here our our top 3 favourite quotes:

“I am on a drug. It’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it once you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body. It’s too much.”

“I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars.”

I’m different. I have a different constitution, I have a different brain, I have a different heart. I got tiger blood, man. Dying’s for fools, dying’s for amateurs.

Daniel Radcliffe is devilishly good in Horns – an adaptation of the Joe Hill romantic horror novel.

This Halloween you will get the chance to see Daniel Radcliffe become the devil…After watching this movie it looks like all notions of Daniel Radcliffe as a bespectacled little boy in Harry Potter will finally be blown away. We are a million miles away from cosy old Hogwarts with this movie – rape, murder, small town bigotry and a man growing horns.

Based on Joe Hill’s book this movie is quite a delicate balance between horror, humour and romance. Joe Hill is by far one of the best fantasy/horror writers around at the moment and the movie has become one of the most highly anticipated horror films this year. It’s a supernatural thriller that follows Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) who is the number one suspect for the violent rape and murder of his girlfriend Merrin (Juno Temple). Ig wakes up one morning with a horrible hangover and finds horns starting to grow from his head. These horns possess a power that drives people to confess their sins and give in to their most unspeakable impulses – an effective tool in his mission to find out the true killer and for exacting revenge.

The whole concept of the film is intriguing, or could it be just plain weird? Positive reviews have already been made after the film’s screening at the Toronto International Film Festival and with such potential in the source material it does look like a film really worth seeing – especially on Halloween…
